Snip:

Consequence: IN SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS, THE BALL MAY SEPARATE FROM THE BALL JOINT SOCKET AND A LOSS OF STEERING MAY OCCUR, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

You can Google it but there's more info on this link if you'd like a quick look:

Oops, upon looking further, there are other recalls, you may have to do a bit more looking / digging for the full story.
